Closer season 3 - another rant
Oh wow, so I am done with the third season and as you probably know from my last entry, last episode made me very angry. Which means I suppose great acting, but I am almost hundred percent sure that authors of the show do not mean for me to read the characters as I am reading. I am pretty sure that they are supposed to be good guys, who catch the murderers. And who cares how they do it. Right? Right?
not that warnings are needed, but rant again to follow. Heck, I feel better when I type it out :-)
Hmmm, there were some funny things in between this one and the end of the season three, but man oh man, I have not hated a fictional character that much since my hate of one Severus Snape was at its high, heh. At least I am thoroughly satisfied with the end for that one, I sincerely doubt I am going to get something like that here.
So, where to start? Oh yes, the episode where they were investigated the murder of the trainer of personal trainer of incredibly dumb blond (lol) wife of incredibly wealthy man. The funny part was of course them investigating and at the same time undergoing the nuclear weapons training, that was funny, really really funny. And even murderer was funny. So loved that, LOVE that Brenda misses chocolate and cannot have any, very real that feels to me.
And then comes the Death do us apart episode about the death of the divorce lawyer. Oh dear god, half through the first part of the episode I was hoping and keeping my fingers crossed that this will be one episode where Brenda will be wrong. I mean, really I know that she is supposed to catch a bad guy, and that she will continue doing that, but goodness, can't I have just one episode where she gets some much needed humiliation (IMO)? Just one?
LOVED, when the suspect laughed in her face and refused to talk to her, saying that he already called his lawyer and that her act did not fool him.
LOVED and was so so hoping that he will turn out to be an innocent man at the end. LOVED when defense attorney pinned her down on the witness stand that she has no physical evidence.
But of course, no such luck. And erm, never mind that they deemed it is ok to talk to twelve (?) year old girl without anybody present to get the incriminating evidence on her parents.
So, yeah, justice is served?
And then we hae an episode where she and Fritz go home to her parents to get the guy whom they suspect to be involved in the crime.
Weeeeeelll, that is the way to get suspect to confess, sure, just tell him that his brother is dead. By the way, not just say so, but put together a video of fake crime scene. Because see your suspect is so dumb that he will forget that during the half of the episode when he was asking to talk to his brother, you were telling him only when he talks.
Oh and of course, OF COURSE, please do not let this teenager (brother who is supposedly dead) and mind you, innocent, go to children services by fabricating a bizarre story about the weapons.
And so, when older brother confesses, what do you do dear Brenda? Oh right, you let him go to make sure he is to look for killers, then he does your work for you, shoots them and then you shoot him. And then you have a nerve to be upset that you have to tell this kid that his brother is dead?
Sorry Brenda, not buying. Didn't you tell your mom that given a chance you will do it all over again?
I know, I know you can lie to suspect. I still think it is disgusting, but at least it is not unprofessional.
But how dare you? How dare you say that you will do it all over again when you basically kidnapped this boy from the city prizon without any warrant whatsoever?
Oh, and writers, news flash, the idea that first suspect IS your primary suspect worked really really REALLY well in the first Primary suspect. In fact it worked brilliantly. Do you know why?
Because we SAW why police suspected the guy in the first place (was near the crime scene) and even though they did not have the physical evidence initially, they worked painstakingly through every stage, every detail, we saw them brainstorming, we saw police finding the evidence and we saw how they did.
And then Hellen Mirren did her part brilliantly.
In this show I feel it already gets old and fast. Brenda getting her revelations when she talks to somebody about something different gets old too.
I was sort of relieved when I read in one of the reviews about the show that if somebody thinks that this is how police works, they should not think so.
I mean, I know that police can do much worse things even, read in the papers very often, but at least I know that it is well, wrong.
Anybody saw show Shield? I saw it sporadically, yes lots of things made me mad too, but at least I had pretty good idea, that Vic is going to get what is coming to him. Brenda - I sincerely doubt so.
Because Vic also started working and doing the right things, then it went downh
